I really like the humor in the book with a mix of potty humor and how he relates to his school life and trying to get through with his life as a 12 year old with other siblings and a best friend who can get on his nerves ROwley and he is pretty brainy too.

The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, Just don’t expect me to be all Dear Diary’ this and Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

This is the first book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and this was awesome and got me hooked. It's so funny. It's about a boy named Greg who has troubles in middle school. I loved this book so much, he tries to find a girlfriend, find cooler friends, and much more.
This is a book in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I highly recommend this book. This book follows Greg Heffley on his journey in Middle School, and it says a lot about his best friend Rowley and his family. This is a very fun and quick read. Happy Reading!

I Love it so so soo so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁
I loved this movie because it is so relatable to me I get bullied a lot but I don't think it is good to be ok to get bullied because you are nice and good it just makes me feel like no one likes me when someone and me get bullied I stand up for every one not bullies
Amazing! Very good and supper intresting!!
This book is about a kid named Greg. Greg is a kid who's in a rush to grow up. He's a kid who wants to get to that next level. He wants his bedtime to be later. He wants a cell phone. He wants to be able to see that PG-13 movie instead of PG and he doesn't realize what a good thing childhood is. Greg also has a friend named Rowley, And Rowley's job is to make Greg's life more and more Embarrassing! Greg is a lot like me because he wishes to be older. My mom always says "Enjoy childhood while you can!", But i think being older would be really cool. i love the series and this book will help me get through middle school. Rodrick is my favorite character, He is really funny and loves pulling pranks on his little brother, Greg. Manny on the other hand is super funny and creative. Manny is Greg's little brother, and Manny gets on Greg's nerves sometimes, just like my little brother named Ian. I am a little bit like Rodrick because i am the oldest, and i have the longest hair of the boys in my family. Frank is Greg's father. He wants Greg to play outside more, And Susan is Greg's mother. She is nice, but does not know very much about things that Greg and Rodrick like, and she wants to get them to read more. I really recommend this book to anybody who likes books that are funny, or anybody who is going to Middle school.
